In 2002, Channel 4 television's
Time Team explored an ancient burial site on the northern edge of the town which was about to be lost to new housing. A single burial was unearthed in a field here in 1944 but, working with Fife Council's archaeologist and local people, the TIme Team archaeologists discovered eleven further early Bronze-Age cyst burials, together with human skeletal remains, identifying the site as of national importance now referred to as
Leven Bronze Age Cemetery.
